Our review
The most minimal fragrance is a single aroma-molecule: Molecule 01. The next most minimal adds 1 to 01: 01 + 1. This is Molecule +. The M+ line adds +1 to Iso E Super, the super aroma-molecule that turned the cloistered world of perfumery upside down. Molecule 01 + Patchouli consists of Iso E Super + Patchouli. Iso E Super is an abstract synthetic molecule characterised as a cedarwood note with a warm, velvety cocooning sensation. Patchouli is a natural extract from the leaves of the patchouli plant. A minimal fragrance for maximum impact. Let M+ Patchouli take you for a whiff of the wild side of modern perfumery that will keep admirers second-guessing what you're thinking and wearing. M+ Patchouli is an innovative reimagining of the classic patchouli note enlivened with Molecule 01 with bewitching notes of cedarwood intermingled with the softness of Patchouli Coeur. "Patchouli is a unique natural. Unlike 99% of perfume ingredients, we associate it with a particular period, the sixties and seventies and that bohemian spirit. It has a cool, rather aloof woodiness to it, and I love it for its moody beauty. I've used two qualities of patchouli here. The biggest chunk is Patchouli Coeur, a very clean, soft patchouli oil fraction with the camphor-like topnote removed. I have also included a patchouli oil from Indonesia to round it out with a little bit of a topnote. The result is a sophisticated, clean patchouli that pairs fantastically well with Molecule 01," says Geza Schoen. This dark, moody beauty, with a musky-earthy aroma profile, blends two qualities of patchouli with the seductive insouciance of Iso E Super, wrapping you in warmth and hovering around you the whole day. Molecule 01 + Patchouli is available in a travel-friendly 30ml edition to satiate all your spritz-on-the-go needs.
